Ingredients Explained

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

This moisturizer has an ingredient profile that is quite favorable for individuals with acne-prone skin (no commonly implicated irritants like alcohols, sulfates, or fragrance). One observation in using this product I had is that it manages to achieve an impressive gel texture without the usage of silicones, which is quite rare among gel-based moisturizers. This product ranks low in comedogenicity Show more

Holy Grail
This comes out of the bottle looking like a cream but kinda turns into water on the skin. It absorbs so well and is perfect for those that hate feeling like there's a layer left on the skin. The miminal ingredient list is a lifesaver for hypersensitive skin. After trying 15+ moisturizers looking for something that didn't burn, itch, or break me out, I finally found this.

Nice simple moisturiser, but it is quite pricey so won't repurchase.
